good man who would be willing to wat

your affairs that nobody would get any
benefit from. your vast accumulations,

minds eye just such man as you need.
His shoulders are well fitted for bur-

up cheerfully at any time you see fit to

THANK you," said Mr.. Gould, as the

me from offsetting my time, which is
worth $500 minute, against yours,
which Judge to be worth about 81 per

He then held the door open for me,
and shortly after that 1 came away.
There were three reasons why did not
rmain, but the principal reason was
that / did not think he wanted me to
do so.
And so | came away and left him.
There was little else that could say
after that.
1t is not the first time that Western
man has been treated with considera-
ton in his own section, only to be
frowned upon and frozen when he
meets the same man in New York.
Mr.. Gould is below medium height,
and is likely to remain so through life.
His countenance wears crafty ex-
preston, and yet he allowed himself to
be April-fooled by genial little party
of gentlemen from Boston, who sailed

Jay Gould would attract very little
attention here on the streets, but he
would certainly be looked upon wi tn
suspicion in Paradise. A man who
would fail to remember that he had 81,
600, 900 that belongs to the Erie road,
but who does not fail to remember
whenever he paid his own hotel bills at

would pull up and pawn the pavements
of Paradise within thirty days after he |
got there.

For those boys who wish to emulate
the example of Jay Gould, the example
of Jay Gould is a good example for
them to emulate.
If any little boy in New York ON this
beautiful Sabbath morning desires to
jeopardize his immortal soul IN order
to be beyond the reach of want, and ride
gayly over the sunlit pillows where the
cruel fangs of the EXCISE law canroi
reach him, let him cultivate a lop-sided
memory, swap friends for funds and
wise counsel for crooked counsels.
If l had thought of all this as | came
down the front steps at Irvington the
other day, | would have said II TO Mr..
Gould; but did not think of it until
got home. A mans best thoughts
frequently come to him too late foI
publ ication.
But the name of Jay Gould will not &C

those of Howard and Wilbcrforce, II

of millionaires. a millionaire more or
less does not count very much, and
only the good millionaires who baptize
and beautify their wealth in the eternal
sunlight of unselfishness will have any
claim on Immortality.

humanity up to the top of high
